I am dying to know where you got the name Peruvian rat snake for this snake that is very common in our area. You must have worked hard to create such a name. For your information, and for the rest of your viewers, the snake you photographed is a bullsnake. They are not found in Peru but are common through much of the Great Plains. You are correct in one point however, they are non-venomous. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to invest in a $25 field guide to the snakes of the US. Or at least do some research online or ask a person who knows what they are talking about. I have never in my career seen such a gross misidentification of any species. Shame on you.
